Living as though you’re leaving

Alisha landed in Korea a week ago. This is her second country in a list of six. She started in Japan in January and plans to live in a different country each month for five more months: South Korea, India, Egypt, South Africa, and lastly Botswana.

With the rapid trip plan, she’s definitely living right now as though she’s leaving.

I’ve noticed a similar pattern in my own habits and thoughts after I realized I probably won’t be in Korea much longer, less than half a year. I like the feeling now, but it doesn’t always feel great.
